Sorry it has been so long since the last post! It is simply a matter of priorities. The military taught me the value of setting priorities. Our priorities are determined by our mission. If flying jets is your mission…then everything that directly supports getting that jet in the air is priority #1. So, anything that is not directly connected to flying that jet is priority 2, 3, etc. Without a clear understanding and focus on your mission….it is so easy to get your priorities out of order.
As Christian men; priority #1 is doing the mission (purposes) that God has given us. Priority #1 is to worship God, to bring Him glory in all that we do. Priority #1 is to be actively involved in the family of God. Priority #1 is to become more like Jesus in all of our character. Priority #1 is serving our fellow person. Priority #1 is sharing the saving gospel of Jesus with those who don’t know the good news. Everything else is life is priority #2. How are you doing with getting your priorities in the correct order?

So, does leading people into a correct relationship w/ Jesus fall under priority 1?
Yes would be my answer, so guiding my family falls under priority one! I struggle with this every day. I feel the weight of this edict directing me in the choices I make…from which words to use, to whether or not to watch a certain movie. God, Please continue to guide this man you have created, to lead his family, both spiritual and biological, into the walk you would have each person follow. Lord you are lord of all and you are above all. Guide us sinners to your perfect happiness forever. Thank you.
